Pete has been accused of stealing his new lover from one of his friends.

Maxx Davies claims that he was still living with Gemma Costain when she started an affair with the Big Brother winner, who was involved in a relationship of his own with former housemate Nikki Grahame.

"I am devastated. Pete destroyed my relationship. We were happy together and he ruined everything. I know Gemma was seeing him behind my back," Maxx told The People. "He knew Gemma was my girlfriend but that didn't stop him. It's not as if I was a stranger. We've met several times and always got on well."

He added: "I feel so sorry for Nikki. I know exactly how she feels because I am feeling it too. She is not the only one who has been hurt by Pete. He has destroyed two relationships and is far from being Perfect Pete, as his fans call him."
